Promise Lyrics by Jay Esco

2020

[Intro]
KimJ wit' da heat
If I could pray just one more time 'fore my brother got locked, before my brother got locked
If I could pray just one more time 'fore my brother got shot, before my brother got shot

[Chorus]
If I could pray just one more time 'fore my brother got locked, before my brother got locked
If I could pray just one more time 'fore my brother got shot, before my brother got shot
I'd probably be a G.O.A.T right now
Said I'd probably be a G.O.A.T right now
Why I done been through all this pain, and it's nonstop, yeah

[Verse 1]
I done been through all this pain, and it's nonstop
I seen some worse days, I'm wishin' that that call drop
I seen it first, I swear to God, I can't believe my eyes
It's no reverse, I wish there was, 'cause now I'm traumatized
And I done been lied to
I swear to God, I hate it
And growin' up it wasn't fun, I had to face it
I told my momma, "Wait", she still waitin' 'cause she patient
I told my brothers, "Wait", they still waitin', I'm gon' make it

[Refrain]
And I promise, yeah
And I promise (And I promise)

[Chorus]
If I could pray just one more time 'fore my brother got locked, before my brother got locked
If I could pray just one more time 'fore my brother got shot, before my brother got shot
I'd probably be a G.O.A.T right now
Said I'd probably be a G.O.A.T right now
Why I done been through all this pain, and it's nonstop, yeah

[Verse 2]
The feds was always around
You stick and move and play your role
I was fascinated by that street life, I took my notes
Never catch me slippin', I'm always one move ahead
If it wasn't for Lou, I'd probably be dead
And I'm afraid to go to sleep, 'cause I don't wanna pass
I cross my fingers every night and wish she call me back
I hope my brothers watch down before I wash these drugs down
Inside my system, I never loved it
I never had no lovin'
So it was hard for me to give it back, I wanted somethin'
Way too much built inside me
I give my all and pray to God, I hope he find me

[Chorus]
If I could pray just one more time 'fore my brother got locked, before my brother got locked
If I could pray just one more time 'fore my brother got shot, before my brother got shot
I'd probably be a G.O.A.T right now
Said I'd probably be a G.O.A.T right now
Why I done been through all this pain, and it's nonstop, yeah

[Outro]
If I could pray just one more time 'fore my brother got locked, before my brother got locked
If I could pray just one more time 'fore my brother got shot, before my brother got shot
I'd probably be a G.O.A.T right now
Said I'd probably be a G.O.A.T right now
Why I done been through all this pain, and it's nonstop, yeah
